This GIF of Mike Piazza on stage with Alter Bridge at the 2005 Home Run Derby is provided for the reader after the jump not because it is such a large file that it would render the site inert were it on the front page — although this would definitely happen — but rather because the reader, were he (or she, certainly) confronted by such footage sans warning, his (or her, certainly) heart would explode, like in that one movie where the guy’s heart just explodes.

Bear frightened, turgid witness:

Credit to citizen of the internet Buckets for drawing the author’s attention to this important footage.
